I know this is late in coming, but the Hitch Rider vise works great! I recommend!
it's a simple device that i probably could have fabbed myself, but for the material and time-- the price was so reasonable that ordering one from Hitch Rider was a no-brainer.

Slightly off topic but related. Any recos on a snowboard/ski carrier? I've seen one that goes on the spare, not sure who makes it.

Default Allen 303 Spare tire rack

Sorry for reviving this thread. I have a 33' hanging off my spare tire carrier. I'm looking to use the Allen 303 spare tire mount. I know it will fit but was curious on how to strap it to my carrier. Anyone using this setup that has pictures.

Does anyone know if the Thule 'Spare Me" carrier fits the same tire size?
I use the Thule and it just fits the 32"

The Thule Spare Me rack works on 275/70 tires on my Sahara 18" rims just fine...I just keep it on all spring through fall...keep the key that locks the carrier handy though if you like going to those auto car washes...
